72 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Jan. 15,
mission pertaining thereto was suddenly suspended and
closed for the season.
Expenses were paid by Governor Wise and myself.
In conclusion, I respectfully recommend that your Honor-
able Body renew and continue the Commission, with a recom-
mendation that the Spring or early Summer be availed of to
resume the work ; when, I have good reason to hope and
believe, an adjustment of the" "vital question" will be the re-
sult; and all litigation and strife on the part of our own
citizens and those of Virginia, contiguous to the line respec-
tively, be forever settled, by thus removing the cause of dis-
pute, and the harmony and good feeling that is wont to exist
between those good people fostered and encouraged.
I would respectfully beg further to recommend that the
present temporary compromise water line, known as the
Davidson and Levitte Line, be recognized and respected dur-
ing the labors of your Commissioners.
I have procured a very valuable and fine map of the line
from the Pocomoke River to the Ocean in two directions, some
fourteen feet in length, traced on silk parchment, which I
propose, with the approbation of the Legislature, when our
Boundary question is settled, to present to the Maryland His-
torical Society, for preservation in their rooms, where I find
records better preserved than in. any office to which I have
had access,
It not possible for me to correctly estimate the time I have
spent in the service of the State in their labors, and only
embrace, in my account, days from home and in the field.
Fourteen days, at $5...... ........................$70 80
Cash out of pocket, (all expenses)..........,,.... 96 60
Preparing this report..................... ......... 20 00
$186 50
Allot which I respectfully submit to the consideration and
beg the approval of your Honorable Body.
WM.J. AYDELOTT.
